Carrick on Suir’s Sam Bennett will be hoping to improve on his 3rd place finish in yesterdays opening stage of the Vuelta a San Juan in Argentina.
The Bora-Hansgrohe sprinter was dislodged from his leadout train in a hectic finish to the 160 kilometre stage which was won by Fernando Gaviria of the UAE Emirates team.
Bennett had to stall his sprint and freewheel for a time but still managed to make the podium.
